TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a steel material for hot stamp forming with ultra-fine grains, a hot stamp forming process and a hot stamp formed member

BACKGROUND

With the urgent need for global energy conservation and emission reduction and an environmentally friendly economy, the automotive industry is developing in the direction of light weight, but the light weight of an automobile is not at the expense of safety. On the contrary, the collision safety requirements for automobiles are getting higher and higher. At present, high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel materials for vehicles are attracting more and more attention in the automotive industry due to their high strength and light weight. For a high strength, a cold stamping method is adopted, such that the formed properties are reduced, large stamping force is required, and cracking easily occurs. In addition, after being formed, the part rebounds greatly, so that its shape and dimensional accuracy can hardly be guaranteed.

The hot stamp forming technology arising in Europe is a new forming technology that solves the above problems. The technology is a forming technology that heats the blank to a completely austenitized state, rapidly transfers it to a die having a uniform cooling system to be rapidly stamp formed, and meanwhile performs cooling quenching treatment to obtain a super-high-strength steel part with a uniform martensite structure. At high temperatures, the material has good stamping formability, can be stamp formed into complex members, and at the same time eliminates the rebound impact, such that the part has high precision and good quality. At the present time, major automobile manufacturers in Europe and the United States have successfully applied the high-strength steel material hot stamp forming technology to the production of members such as an A-pillar, a B-pillar, a bumper, a roof frame, an underbody frame and a door anti-collision bar of an automobile. Due to a high strength and the presence of a martensite structure, the performance of the steel for hot stamp forming in automotive crash safety depends on its toughness, cold bending property and resistance to delayed cracking. Currently, the steel for hot stamp forming widely used in the automotive industry is structural alloy steel represented by 22MnB5, which has such problems as high austenitizing temperature (AC3 of about 850° C.), low hardenability, poor toughness after forming, limited cold bending performance, and delayed cracking.

CN100370054C discloses a high-strength steel material for hot stamp forming coated with an aluminum alloy. The patent document requires a strength of more than 1000 MPa, wherein the strength is 1800 MPa when the carbon content is 0.35%, and the strength reaches 1900 to 2100 MPa or more when the carbon content is above 0.5, but the document does not mention the elongation and toughness thereof. In fact, the material with an alloy design requires tempering heat treatment to achieve the strength value, and has poor toughness, which cannot meet the elongation and toughness requirement of above 1800 MPa of hot stamp formed steel and members, and the high carbon content is detrimental to the welding performance.

CN101583486A discloses a method of preparing a coated strip and a hot stamped product thereof. A preferred embodiment of this document mentions that heat treatment is required after the hot stamp forming so that its mechanical properties can reach a yield strength of 1200 MPa and a tensile strength of above 1500 MPa, but it does not quantitatively expound the ductility. It only proposes to control the sulfur content (requiring a sulfur content of less than 0.002 wt %) to ensure the ductility and avoid crack propagation caused by sulfide inclusions, but it is difficult and costly in the industry to control the sulfur content below 20 ppm. Hence, by controlling the sulfur element content, the problem of low ductility cannot be completely solved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments. The following embodiments or experimental data are intended to illustrate the invention exemplarily, and those skilled in the art should be aware that the present invention is not limited to these embodiments or experimental data.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a steel material for hot stamp forming comprising the following components by weight: 0.27 to 0.40% of C; 0.2 to 3.0% of Mn; 0.11 to 0.4% of V; 0 to 0.8% of Si; 0 to 0.5% of Al; 0 to 2% of Cr; 0 to 0.15% of Ti; 0 to 0.15% of Nb; 0 to 0.004% of B; a total of less than 2% of Mo, Ni, Cu and other alloying elements that are beneficial to improving the hardenability, as well as other impurity elements.

The martensite strength improves with increasing carbon content, but high carbon content leads to the formation of twinned martensite, which reduces the toughness of the material. The twinned martensite must be tempered to prevent brittle fracture. The steel material of the present invention adds a specific composition of V element to the alloy composition, so that the full austenitizing heating temperature range during the hot stamping process is 800 to 920° C.; since over 0.11% of V and over 0.27% of C are added to the material, according to the condition of the solubility product of VC precipitation, there will be a certain amount of composite carbide of VC and/or (V, Ti, Nb) C at the austenite grain boundary during the austenitizing process, and the second phase particles effectively pin the austenite grains, which will refine the prior austenite grains. Therefore, the precipitation of VC has an important influence on controlling the size of the prior austenite grains. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the prior austenite grain size is 3 to 6 μm, and the grain refinement and strengthening can not only improve the yield strength but also increase the toughness. FIG. 1 shows a prior austenite grain boundary morphology of the steel material of the present invention after the hot stamp forming.

If the achievement of a tensile strength of above 1800 MPa only relies on a high carbon addition, the martensite formed contains twinned martensite, such that it has poor toughness and can have ductile fracture only after tempering treatment. After tempering at 170° C. for 20 minutes (usually 170˜200° C., 10˜30 minutes for automotive coating), the yield strength of the material is increased by 50˜100 MPa, the tensile strength is reduced by about 50 MPa, and the elongation can be increased to more than 5%. In the prior art (for example, the material composition and properties publicized by Nippon Steel Corporation): Fe-0.31C-1.3Mn—Ti—B % has an elongation of about 3.5% upon the brittle fracture under the strength of 1700 MPa in the hot stamping state (quenching), and has a strength of 1785 MPa and an elongation of 7% after tempering at 170° C. for 20 minutes. Poor toughness before the tempering increases the risk of delayed cracking of the member; moreover, the automotive member is welded before entering the coating procedure, such that the poor toughness of the member in the hot stamped state (not tempered) tends to cause cracking in the welding assembly process.

According to the present invention, over 0.11% of V and over 0.27% of C are added to the steel material alloy composition, and VC or (V, Ti, Nb) C with a volume fraction of above 0.1% will be further precipitated during the cooling process of 3 to 30 s after the austenitizing treatment and before the rapid cooling of the hot stamping die, wherein the uniform fine second phase particles can increase the tensile strength by over 100 MPa, and preferably the precipitated particle size is 1˜20 nm, the average particle size is 4.5 nm, the volume fraction is about 0.22% (0.22% is calculated from the amount of precipitation in the carbon replica sample by conversion from two-dimension to three-dimension, and the calculated volume fraction of Thermal-Cac is 0.28%), wherein the frequency of occurrence of 1˜10 nm is as high as 94.4%, and according to the precipitation strengthening mechanism, the precipitation strengthening enhancement thereof can reach 240 MPa. The precipitation of the VC or (V, Ti) C will consume the carbon in the austenite and reduce its carbon content, thereby decreasing the fraction of twinned martensite formed in the martensite after phase transformation, and therefore, based on the VC precipitation of the present invention, the toughness of the martensite itself can be improved, the strength of the martensite is lowered due to a decrease of the carbon content therein, but the strength of the material is enhanced by VC precipitation strengthening and fine grain strengthening of the prior austenite grains. FIG. 2 shows a precipitated particle morphology and size of the steel material of the present invention after hot stamp forming.

In addition, VC and H have high binding energy, are an irreversible hydrogen trap and can easily fix hydrogen atoms around them, which can improve the hydrogen-induced delayed cracking ability of the material (Reference: Harshad Kumar Dharamshi Hansraj BHADESHIA. “Prevention of Hydrogen Embrittlement in Steels”. ISIJ International, Vol. 56 (2016), No. 1, pp. 24-36).

After hot stamp forming or equivalent heat treatment, the steel material of the present invention can achieve a tensile strength of 1800 to 2200 MPa, a yield strength of 1300 MPa to 1700 MPa, and an elongation of 9 to 6% after direct hot stamping quenching and without tempering. Preferably, it reaches 1400 MPa-1900 MPa-8%, 1450 MPa-2100 MPa-7%, and the property cannot be achieved by the alloy composition of the prior art upon direct quenching (no tempering); even if the coating process can realize the function of tempering treatment, in order to meet the welding requirement that brittle fracture of the part does not occur in the welding process, tempering heat treatment must be conducted after the hot stamping. In contrast, a major advantage of the present invention is that the process step of tempering heat treatment is eliminated, thereby simplifying the forming process.

The specific manufacturing process of the steel material for hot stamp forming of the present invention is as follows:

(1) a smelting procedure of smelting strictly according to the above composition by a vacuum induction furnace or a converter;

(4) a crimping step, crimping the above hot-rolled steel material in a temperature region of below 750° C., wherein the structure thereof is mainly ferrite and pearlite. According to actual needs, the above-mentioned hot-rolled steel material can also be pickled to obtain a hot-rolled pickled steel material.

In addition, the above manufacturing process can further include one or more of the following procedures:

(5) a cold-rolled steel material can be obtained after the above hot-rolled steel material is pickled and cold-rolled;

(6) a cold-rolled annealed plate can be produced after the above cold-rolled steel material is annealed;

(c) hot stamp forming: setting a reasonable press tonnage according to the above-mentioned steel blank size, the stamping pressure being 1 to 40 MPa, determining a dwell time according to a thickness of the plate, which is controlled at 4 to 40 s to ensure that a temperature of the member is below 250° C. when the die is opened, for example, a 1.2 mm thick blank has a dwell time of 5˜15 s, and a 1.8 mm thick blank has a dwell time of 7˜20 s, and controlling a die surface temperature below 200° C. through a quenching cooling system of the die, so that the steel material in the die is rapidly cooled to below 250° C. at an average cooling rate of not less than 10° C./s.
